This morning, Annie played in the sprinkler while I did some work in the yard.

Trevan and Ashton were running around the neighborhood. They don’t usually go to the park but they both said they thought they should go there. When they entered the area, they found Brother LeMmon in need of serious help, not being able to breathe, sitting against a fence! They ran to the bishop’s house, he wasn’t there, so they ran to Brother MacCourtney’s. Tim came and took care of Bro. LeMmon. Such a great experience for these two boys. I hope they always remember!!! When they were telling me what happened, I said “Wait, you just FELT like you should go to the park?” Their eyes got really big and Trevan said “It was the Holy Ghost!” Soooooo awesome!

Ashton babysat Annie while she was taking a nap. I took the E Kids to Costco

I went to dinner with Lindsey and Ali at Gloria’s in Provo. Then we met Tiffany at TASTE for a chocolate tasting session. It was INTERESTING. It was a little bit too intense for my…taste…hahahahaha!!! The guy leading the tasting, whom I assume owns the establishment, was the most passionate, INTENSE guy in THE WORLD about chocolate and vinegar and oils and probably anything edible. The whole time I was just thinking,”Who IS this guy?!?!”

Here is all the chocolate we were able to taste/eat in an hour and a half session. WAAAAAAAA!!!! I just wanted lots of mouthfuls of chocolate! I imagined I would be like the chubby kid eating chocolate cake on “Matilda”, but NO!!!!

This morning we went to Maple Ridge Elementary for registration! The excitement in the air was tangible. The kids were bouncing off the walls seeing the Greatheads and other friends that they will be going to school with.

While the little guys took naps, these girls played house and dressed up. Cute cute cousins!!!

We decided to get together at the Hobble Creek Reservoir for dinner. It was a last minute deal but lots of my peeps were able to come and it was a great night!

This morning I KINDA cleaned, a tiny bit. I didn’t have a lot to do because, really, Marisa is incredible. Ashton built this amazing tower….

These guys love playing Jenga lately…

Ashton LOVES swimming! They loved the Payson pool so much yesterday that they wanted to go back today. These three guys taught themselves how to dive! I was so stoked with Ashton’s dives! With each attempt he jumped higher and kept his legs straighter.

We brought Druw, Kyn and Trevan with us…

After dinner the boys played Minecraft. Drake came over in the middle of the game and Ethan so sweetly said “Here, Drake, you can play with my controller.” He is a doll.

Josh and I left Vegas at 5 am so we could make it home for Druw’s birthday party. (Marisa is straight up amazing with our kids. We came home to a beautiful house, happy HAPPY kids AND laundry all done! She is THE BEST!) Steph had to scramble for a plan B for Druw’s party. She found out this morning that the Spanish Fork pool was closed! It all worked out, though. We helped drive kids to the Payson pool and the party was a BLAST!!!!

On the morning of the 24th, we dropped the kids off at Grammy’s. She took them to the Pioneer Day Parade and had them with her all day. Marisa came to stay with them for the rest of the weekend. Josh and I went to Las Vegas to get away for his birthday.

The first night, we saw The Beatles Cirque du Soleil show – LOVE. It was really good

The next day, we went on the High Roller, I dropped my phone and shattered the screen, we walked and walked and walked

We saw the Cosmopolitan pool fire….

We went to Fogo De Chao for Josh’s birthday dinner. It was sooooo delicious!!!!

Then we went to Mystere. It was cool, of course, but Josh and I were both fighting to stay awake, we admitted to each other later. The truth was pretty hilarious. The next day, we went to the Hoover Dam. It was incredible. Um, all the Hoover Dam pictures are on Josh’s phone.

We didn’t have any big plans this night, so we decided to ride the New York New York roller coaster. It was soooooo lame, especially the hour-long wait for the lame ride.

The next day we spent the afternoon at the pool and then went to Michael Jackson:One. Honestly, this is the only show I wanted to see but I didn’t want to force Josh to spend money on something he didn’t LOVE on his birthday weekend. We heard it was amazing, though, so we went for it on our last night in town. Let me just tell you something, IT WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!!!! I LOVED EVERY SECOND!!!!

(Okay, maybe not EVERY second. I was sooo distracted and disgusted by the trannie who was the lead ‘woman’ dancer in “The Way You Make Me Feel” that I just looked down or to the side of the stage. I was so grossed out and also jealous of this person’s dance skills, I just had to look away)
